Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 July 2026

Hovpn is a browser proxy client operated by Mohsen (ebmohsen.com) under the Hovpn brand. This policy explains exactly what Hovpn does and does not do with your data.

Data we collect

None. Hovpn has no user accounts, no analytics, and no telemetry. We operate no servers that receive your data through the extension.

Data stored on your device only

• The server profiles and subscription URLs you add are stored locally in your browser on your own machine. They are never transmitted to us.
• Your settings (proxy port, bypass list, theme) are stored locally.
• The local helper writes a runtime configuration and log file under your own user folder (~/.hovpn on macOS/Linux, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hovpn on Windows).

Network connections Hovpn makes

• To your proxy server(s), as configured by you — this is the core function.
• To your subscription URL, when you add or refresh a subscription, to download your own server list. This request is made by the local helper.
• To GitHub / nodejs.org, only during installation of the helper, to download the proxy engine and runtime.

Hovpn does not send your browsing activity anywhere except through the proxy server you selected.

Permissions the extension requests

• proxy — to point the browser at your local proxy port.
• storage — to save your server list and settings locally.
• nativeMessaging — to communicate with the local helper that runs the proxy engine.
• alarms — to periodically check the connection is still alive.
• notifications — to alert you if the connection drops or is restored.

Third parties

Hovpn does not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties. It contains no advertising and no third-party analytics.

Children

Hovpn is a general-purpose networking tool and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
